She remains committed to ensuring every player has a positive experience playing the game of soccer by supporting players, families, and volunteer coaches while helping create a welcoming environment where kids can learn, grow, and enjoy the game. “We’re excited for Susie to step into this new position at the club,” said Club CEO Thomas Finlay. “Over the past year, she has fully embraced the club’s culture and environment and has excelled in her role, helping lead the way for our members within the soccer community. This newly appointed position will allow Susie to further enhance the efficiency of our operational logistics, which ultimately improves the experience for our players on the field.
